Strong Odor, Green Faces Spread
Rumor of Arrival of Fetal Pigs
By Sheila Johnson
Rumors have been circulating
that the Biology II classes have
started work on the "popular"
fetal pigs. It has been getting
around in more ways than one.
For Instance, one may notice
the heavy smell of formaldehyde
in the corridors of the biology
department. Also one may see
the green faces of those pupils
who are working on the dear
little animals the first day.
The study of the fetal pigs is
an experience one is likely never
to forget. Everyone taking biology knows that they are coming some time but no one is
ever really prepared for the time
when they do come.
Upon entering class, one is
liable to spy two or three large
vats, and one feels and ominous
rumbling in the pit of his stomach. Then the dissecting kits
are distributed, then the trays,
towels, and last but not by far
the least, come the pigs—moist,
sickly-looking little things.
Work on the pigs lasts for
about one week. However, to the
poor biology student it may
seem to be a year. One may
learn a lot about anatomy during this process, but learning to
get used to the odor and the
goo is not particularly a pleasant
lesson.
Ah, yes, the study of the fetal
pig is truly an experience that
one may some day be able to
tell one's grandchildren, without
worrying ever about forgetting
any detail.

Shortridge is about the best organized school with which I have
worked so far."
